Somewhere down the road* - Amy Grant

This morning's sermon was really good. Very encouraging - and some parts even moved me to tears. I sent a FB message to some of my old frens after the sermon. Here it is (the relevant parts, anyways):-

hey,

douglas and ruby came to tlc this morning to share abt the work they are doing at temerloh. it was very encouraging.

the most encouraging thing for me was to see Man, now a full time worker of Bangsar Gospel Center. douglas and ruby have been discipling 4 OA couples and one of the couples is Man and Liz.

there were so many photos of Man, teaching and sharing God's word. i was thinking of how he was back then - and how he is now! truly God is faithful and he is great! and the work at temerloh seems to be going well. sure they have problems but they have good committed workers and christians there.

just thought i'd share with u all. i was really touched by the sharing. i was also reminded of the times we spent together, serving God for the OA.

compared to wat is being done by douglas and ruby, we may not seem to have done much back then - but i'm so thankful to be able to play a small part in God's plans. so may OA youths we came into contact - it is so encouraging to see at least Man serving the Lord faithfully.

The first time i met Man - on his baptism day in May 2004.

What really moved me was to see God's faithfulness and how he continues to work - and the way how he works in the lives of people. I am reminded that we are all called not be be successful but to be faithful - when my frens and i were helping out in the OA work back then and got to know Man, we could not have seen so far and know how God was going to work in his life. But somewhere down the road, God moved him and equipped him - and today he is a faithful servant of God.

I am reminded to just carry on doing what is right and good for the Lord. Eventually, we will see the results. All our efforts for the Lord is never in vain.

Therefore, my dear brothers, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain. I Cor 15:58
